Part 1 of the workshop (10 am- noon) will focus on growing common culinary and medicinal mushrooms like Oysters, Turkey Tails, and Garden Stropharia from grain spawn using low tech, DIY methods. Participants will get hands on experience with cultivating fungi in buckets using straw and sawdust, as well as outdoor beds on woodchips.

Producing your own grain spawn opens up a world of possibilities allowing you to grow fungi in great abundance. Growing grain spawn requires a little bit of gear and equipment. We'll orient to some minimalist approaches as well as some common set-ups for cultivating fungi on grain starting from liquid cultures.
